I couldn't really remember how the old Eliminator went, but watching the clips was illuminating. Having the treadmill and handbike at the beginning when the contenders are still fresh makes the whole thing monumentally easier. Also, I suspect anyone who discounts the difficulty of climbing the wet cargo net has never had to do anything of the sort. It's exhausting work, and when one is having to tackle it after already being out of breath from the swim, it's no wonder that none of them can do the handbike.
I think the eliminator needs to be completely retooled. Personally, I'm not interested in watching someone in the throes of exhaustion fall over ten or fifteen times, and they could make it a whole heck of a lot easier just by rearranging the elements so that the most physically demanding stuff comes first.
